"Canisius came out ready to play," Baccari said. "We didn't execute our game plan throughout the whole match. They are a playoff team for a reason and are one of the top teams in the conference. We have the ability to push the match to four or five sets and be at least a little more competitive and we didn't do that."

Rider hosts Niagara on Sunday in a MAAC match beginning at 1pm.

"We expect Niagara to come in and be ready to play," Baccari said about the three-time defending MAAC champion Purple Eagles. "We need to follow the game plan and play with more consistency."
